That guy sure does cook up some crazy concoctions. I've had reasonable success getting a quick green-up using whatever brand liquid spray fertilizers the local hardware or box store happens to have on sale. IME the greening effect doesn't last long. In some cases spraying an Iron/trace mix will have a dramatic effect as well, results vary dramatically depending on your soil type & it's deficiencies, if any. You may be better drinking the beer and urinating on your lawn, thereby adding natural urea to it. Depending on the size of your lawn you may have to drink a shit load of beer. Good luck. rob |

My dog's urine has been leaving large brown spots on the grass in my yard.

In North Texas, wherever the dog urinated, the bermuda grass turned green. Whereas, in CO and NC the same dog killed the grass. CO had bluegrass and NC tall fescue. Same dog and same feed. Maybe it's in the water, ha! Thunder |
